My Bloody Valentine
Chap3: Outside the Window
I stepped out of the shower, dried off and rummaged through my bag in search for underwear to wear. I huffed and walked out of the bathroom in my towel.
"Jacob what the hell?"-I said with my hands on my hips. He turned around to respond and stopped with his mouth still hanging open and slowly looked me up and down. If he wasn't my boyfriend I'd swear he was going to molest me.
"Hey Jacob!"-I said snapping my fingers and he snapped out of it.
"Huh…"-he said dumbly.
"What the hell Jacob? You pack a bag for me and all of my underwear is lacy and some of it I never even saw before."-I said huffing.
"Oh well, that's my gift from me to you."-he said grinning and not ashamed at all.
"Your gift to me is lacy underwear that damn near looks like lingerie?"-I said dryly.
"Yup,"-he said grinning; I huffed again and rolled my eyes as I turned to go back into the bathroom. I could feel his eyes bore into me and goose-bumps rose on my skin. What the hell is he doing to me?
I closed the door behind me and picked up the least lacy pair I could find which was hard considering all of them were out of this world lacy, some were even see through.
"You perve."-I muttered to myself and put them on. I lotioned up and got dressed and went to put everything back in the bag when I noticed some of the underwear was missing. I stood up and looked around the bathroom, but couldn't find anything.
"Okay that's weird."-I muttered frowning. I looked around one more time and figured I'd miss counted since I didn't pack my things and figuring I was wrong.
"I don't know why you bought me these you're never going to see me in them."-I said placing my bag on the chair in the corner.
"I know, but just knowing you're wearing them is good enough."-he grinned and kissed me and ran into the bathroom laughing before I could hit him.
I grabbed some pillows and blankets and made my way to the living room to build a makeshift bed in front of the fire. When it looked plenty cozy I grabbed the leftover blanket and snuggled up on the ledge around the large window to watch the snow fall. It looked really beautiful with the moon shining, making the snow and ice on the trees and ground sparkle. I heard shuffling and looked up to see Jake making his way over to me.
"Look at this big ass can of hairspray. Who the hell has that much hair?"-he said handing over a massive can.
"This cannot be hairspray!"-I said disbelieving.
"You could always use it on your hairy legs to keep them moisturized."-he said grinning and I chucked the can at him, but he ducked and it landed on my bed.
"For your information my legs are as smooth as silk."-I said suggestively and rubbed my legs together for affect. I had on flannel pjs, surprised he packed them, but I still got the desired effect I was looking for.
"You really have to stop teasing me."-Jacob groaned, wrapping his arms around me and inhaling. I laughed and wrapped my arms around him.
"W-why don't you just uh sleep with me?"-Jake asked nervously.
"What?"-I asked wide eyed, but on the inside I was saying I would have if you hadn't "seen" something in the window earlier.
"No no I meant like sleep as in go to bed close our eyes and snore sleep not…the other sleep."-he said quickly throwing his hands up.
"Um…" I thought about it because it didn't seem like that big a deal to just sleep with my boyfriend, but when I looked him up and down standing there sexy as fuck I knew I couldn't.
"No you go ahead I'm not going to bed just yet anyway."-I said swallowing and he nodded.
"Alright, well if you get cold just uh…well don't get cold I guess."-he said lamely
"You're so wise."-I said laughing.
"Shut up."-he said and leaned in to kiss me. It was a sweet kiss until he sucked on my tongue! I groaned and pulled back.
"Goodnight Jake."-I said quietly.
"Goodnight baby."-he said in the same tone then gave me one last soft kiss and walked to his room.
When the door closed I touched my fingers to my lips and did the dreamy sigh-giggle-grab a pillow-falling back-smiling like a fool bit. Damn what is he doing to me? I shook my head smiling and stayed on my back gazing at the skyline for a while, but was lost in a daydream about Jacob and me. We were happily married and let's just say I was not sitting out here. Our relationship has been going smoothly and I think I am seriously starting to fall in love with him after only almost two months of being together, granted we've known each other for years, but still. I feel it's just going to take one more little push and I'll be falling over the edge so quick my head will hurt.
I started getting sleepy and it was a draft coming from the window, so I sat up and stretched making my shirt ride up and I was ready to make my way over to my bed. I thought I heard someone groan, but ignored it and turned to look out the window one last time. When I looked up I saw a man standing just at the tree line, which is only a few feet away, with an ax in his hand looking right at me. For a split second I thought I was just seeing things because I was sleepy, but when I saw the wind blow his hair I jumped and screamed loud and long. He was kind of tall, thin but toned from what I could tell seeing as he only had on a t-shirt, and had blond hair.
I scrambled to close the curtains when I saw him take a slow small step forward. Jacob came bursting through his door and sprinting in my direction.
"Leah what is it what happened are you alright you didn't fall into the fire did you?"-he asked panicked and searched my body with his eyes. All I could do was shake in fear.
"Leah baby you have to talk to me to tell me what's wrong so I can help you."-he said gripping my face so I'd look at him.
"He…he's…there's a man out there."-I said still shaking.
"A man out where?"-he asked quietly.
"A man outside the fucking window where else would he be?"-I yelled
"Alright calm down; are you sure you weren't just dreaming?"-he asked looking at me worriedly.
"No I wasn't fucking dreaming I wasn't even asleep!"-I exclaimed. He nodded and leaned towards the window.
"What are you doing?"-I hissed, grabbing his arm.
"I just want to see if someone's out there."-he answered and squeezed my hand for reassurance. He slowly brought his hand up and pulled a small portion of the curtain back.
"Shit!"-he hissed and grabbed my arm.
"What what is it?"-I asked panicked.
"You're right there's somebody out there he has an ax too."-he said wide eyed.
"Did he see you?"-I asked and he shook his head.
"No I don't think so he was moving back towards the trees when I looked."-he said yanking me up off the floor.
"What are you doing?"-I asked trying not to trip over my feet as he hastily moved toward the door.
"We're getting out of here."-he said urgently and I stopped us from moving.
"No Jake we can't the car is down the driveway he could get us or there could even be more people with him."-I said as my heart pounded into my chest.
"Then what do you suppose we do go out there and ask him if he's cold and wants to heat up by the fire?"-Jake exclaimed grabbing his hair in his hands.
"No, but our chances of surviving seem greater in here than if we go out there and make a run for it."-I said feeling my chest tighten.
"Damn you're right. Come on you're sleeping with me and that's final!"-he said glaring at the window and hastily drug us back to the bedroom and slammed the door.
